萨克拉门托，州长官邸。

大批媒体记者得知今天下午，州长布莱恩·弗格森有极其重要的消息宣布，陆续赶到了新闻厅。

来到这边，记者们发现，情况非同寻常。

布莱恩的父母、妻子和一眾堂兄堂妹匯聚一堂。

加州象党领袖人物凯文·麦卡锡和鲍勃·夏乐伯先后出现。

由一眾网际网路和高科技行业新贵们组成的科技革命阵营的重要人物，彼得·蒂尔、雷德·霍夫曼、埃隆·马斯克、杰夫·贝佐斯、马克·扎克伯格、谢尔盖·布罗和里德·黑斯廷斯等等，全都坐在了新闻厅的前排。

这些人所代表的財富加起来足有数万亿美元。

媒体行业方面，福克斯电视网的罗杰·艾尔斯和梅根·泰勒，代表新闻集团的鲁伯特·默多克，推特的运营总监卡洛琳·琼斯……

片刻后，乔治·沃克和理察·切尼也来到了最前排。

接著是象党內新茶党的领袖彭斯和佩林。

象党温和派的领袖约翰·麦凯恩则坐在了这两人旁边。

而当里根的遗孀南希和长子普雷斯科特出现在新闻厅中时，引起现场一片骚动。

里根家族为什么突然出现？

再看看那么多政商两界的大人物到场，记者们渐渐有所联想。

尤其那些跑时政新闻的。

来自《洛杉磯时报》的记者问旁边的梅根·泰勒：“你消息灵通，今天这是什么情况？”

她半开玩笑问到：“布莱恩不会宣布竞选总统吧？”

梅根摇摇头：“具体什么情况，很快就会知道了。”

新闻厅二楼一侧的休息室，霍克透过窗户上的单向玻璃看著下面的情况。

布莱恩正在穿西装外套，说道：“今天阵仗搞得有点大。”

霍克说道：“拉拢工作做得不错。”

“你这边提前布局多年，一举搅乱了汤姆·埃莫、观海和约瑟夫的竞选形势，又打压了野心勃勃的董总。”布莱恩也来到窗户前看了一眼，说道：“暗中的事情全让你做了，明面上的拉拢与联合我再做不到，乾脆放弃算了。”

他略微停顿，继续说道：“为了爭取这些人支持，我们也付出了不菲的代价。”

霍克微微点头：“大选既是全球最大的一场综艺秀，也是眾多利益集团的利益交换盛宴。”

布莱恩哈哈笑了起来：“最终付出代价的，是美利坚全体国民。”

大选本质上就是一堆利益集团，新一轮对美利坚財富的瓜分。

休息室门从外面打开，珍妮弗快步进来，对两人说道：“时间差不多了，该下去了。”

霍克看了眼腕錶，说道：“我先下去。”

他出了休息室，进入一楼新闻厅，坐在了艾丽卡身边。

艾丽卡问道：“准备好了？”

霍克点头：“马上下来。”

过了两分钟左右，布莱恩与珍妮弗夫妇携手走下二楼，进了新闻厅，上了主席台。

现场爆发出热烈掌声。

布莱恩站在话筒前，珍妮弗自动退到后面。

“男士们，女士们，欢迎来到萨克拉门托，参加这场新闻会。”布莱恩没有任何迟疑，直接宣布道：“这场新闻会的主题只有一个，我在此宣布，参加本届总统大选！”

现场先是震惊和譁然，很快又恢復了安静。

因为新闻厅中出现的这些人，让记者们已经有所猜测。

布莱恩则就势发表了竞选宣言。

竞选者对於大公司大集团的承诺，基本都能兑现。

对於公眾的承诺，大部分可以当做放屁。

民眾只是统治者手里的工具，需要的时候拿来用，不需要的时候纯粹属於耗材。

新闻会结束，布莱恩在附近酒店的宴会厅里，准备了一个招待晚宴。

霍克也免不了应酬，与政商两界的人商业互吹，儘可能找到更多共同利益，以便从接下来这场选举大综艺中，获得更多收益。

归根到底，这些人选择站在布莱恩一边，为的都是利益。

见到霍克与鲁伯特·默多克谈完，马斯克快步找了过去，叫霍克到了无人处，说道：“印度方面跟我联繫过了，又一次提出想要购买运载火箭技术。”

霍克呵呵笑著说道：“看来印度人一直不死心。”

马斯克耸耸肩：“他们的火箭和卫星技术都非常一般，据说每一次印度发射运载火箭，周边的国家都如临大敌，会雷达全开，谁也不知道印度人的火箭会飞去哪里，连印度人自己也不清楚。”

这点霍克有所了解，他问道：“nasa那边什么意见？”

“印度人这几年一直在做nasa的工作，那边有所鬆动。”马斯克大致上说道：“如果我们肯卖的话，估计那边不会卡住不放。”

霍克想了想，说道：“或许可以先收印度人一笔定金。”

马斯克想到了其他方面，问道：“卫星快要交付了？”

“时间快到了。”霍克简单说道：“按照双方的合同，三月份时要把所有卫星全部交付给印度人。”

马斯克对此相当关心：“印度人做生意总是不守规矩，你肯定有所保留吧？”

霍克笑了笑：“这笔交易当中，印度人支付的定金，產生的利润很高。”

马斯克羡慕道：“高额利润的生意谁都喜欢，我让太空探索那边试一试。”

宴会结束，霍克与布莱恩单独聊了一会儿。

他直接说道：“隨著我们亮明竞选牌，接下来必然受到当局打压。”

布莱恩很清楚这点：“以汤姆·埃莫的心胸，肯定会进行报復。”

霍克说道：“明暗两种手段我们要做好防范。”

“是的，我已经做好了准备。”布莱恩这两年利用汤姆·埃莫盟友的身份，拉拢了很多人：“只要我们自身足够强大，华盛顿当局各部门都会有支持我们的人。”

霍克说道：“不止被动防守，还要主动进攻。”

布莱恩点头：“我们还像以前那样配合，明面上的归我，暗地里由你主导。”

霍克应道：“可以。”

去年就已確定布莱恩参选，他做了很多应对汤姆·埃莫的工作。
